The PS pot that Kevin sells has a 2KV 'case' rating. Slight tangent --- would you please tell us exactly what pot this is that Kevin ships? I would expect a JAN or RV4 marked Clarostat/PEC/A-B. If there are other sources, it would be helpful. JaySG, rv4naysd105A PEC (Power Scale) rv4naysd253A PEC (...

If you mean not being utilized, then yes. In the Francesca pictures it is the second tube that only uses half.

Sorry about that. It should work now...

I don't know what this would be but I have one comment. I don't believe the TW approach has ever been the "swiss army knife" approach. In fact, I believe Ken even stated that in a recent interview. TW's are more of a "per application and player approach". This has been supported in my experience too...

Oh yeah...and the paralleled first stage would either need a plate and cathode resistor and cap adjustment or remove the paralleled status.

Here is another handy option I've run across...

Here you can just print to PDF.

Just SELECT ALL through the EDIT menu or just press CTRL-A and then go to SAVE AS and select under SAVE AS TYPE the JPEG FILE INTERCHANGE FORMAT (.JPG) extension. I usually change the defaulted 75% to 90% under the compression section after you press OK. Then take the file and upload it to here. HTH...

This is interesting timing. I put my pseudo-Lightning on the bench for tweaking recently but have not yet made any changes. I didn't realize that it was so close to a Rocket. Here are the basic differences I can note short of the voltage differential and the PS cap values. How to modify a Lightning ...

Here is another layout of an OD with reverb that I ran across on the net a while back.

I really have no idea whether this is the original schemo or a different reverb. I have never seen one.

The first option show a single/parallel arrangement where the two 100K plates resistors are connected together, effectively corresponding to a 50k load. Should it be a single 100k there? No, when you parallel a tube you double the capacitance and divide the resistance by two. It has also been said ...

I ran across these images recently.

This bit about "known on occasion to determine the suitability of potential friends by their ability to mentally calculate the square root of two" is a bit much...



I didn't know he ran ads.

I found some chassis pics of a ODS on www.acplink.com They are available here:

Thanks!

I would be very interested in the pictures of your Dumble, Funk. Have you closed in on the remaining 10% and do you have some updated schemo/layout for that?

Thanks,
Ross
